Are they actually employees of the sheriff’s department, or in some lessor status as students in the academy, and as the latter will this be an employment-related injury? And if the former, what kind of injury compensation will they see? Reports say the several have lost, or will lose, limbs and obviously not be physically eligible for continued employment in their chosen field. Many retirement systems use length of service in the calculation for post-employment benefits; these injured folk measure that in months, not years, if eligible for anything at all.

The cyber division of his own department brought charges against a company involved in electronic voting, alleging that the company was illegally storing the personal information of poll workers in China. Gascon threw out the charges, claiming bias by his department, and a rushed investigation. He claims that he’ll have a proper investigation, but I suspect we’ll never see it again.

Same thing with this driver if Gascon gets the opportunity, I expect.

If the police, can’t police, vigilanteism will arise.

Which, if vigilantism becomes widespread enough, will provide the ‘rationale’ for declaring Nationwide Martial Law.

Seven of the injured recruits are still in the hospital, with two of them in critical condition.
